Several years ago, I decided I was going to be the one to open an American bakery in Paris. Cupcakes, brownies, muffins, cookies... Ahhh- evidently I was ahead of my time and had no benefactor financing the venture. Still a lovely dream, n'est-ce pas? Merci, Carol and Bear!

So funny to see this adoration of American everyday stuff like bagels and cupcakes...It just goes to show whatever is new is amusing no matter what it is I suppose.Maybe New York cupcakes should rename themselves framboise and fraise for more cachet?

I just wrote a blog about not loving cupcakes but absolutely adoring french cakes. Now that the french are making cupcakes themselves, i really want to try because i'm willing to be persuaded otherwise re my dislike for cupcakes which i find boring, always too sweet and one-dimensional in flavor.

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it but now tripping over cobblestones on l'Ile Saint-Louis In Paris. Savor Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris dreams.
